  • Culture & Creativity w/ Nihara Jayatissa | Finding the Middle Ep. 8
    Dec 28 2025

    Welcome to the eighth episode of 'Finding the Middle' with my first female guest and my good friend, Nihara Jaytissa.

    The aim of this episode was for a healthy discussion around the hurdles of creativity and our identities. We delve into cultural intersectionality, imposter syndrome and stepping into your truth as a creator.

    No matter what stage of life you're in, there is always room for creativity and it is never too late to start working on a dream because you may be closer than you think. Hopefully the insights shared provide some clarity on what you may also be experiencing.

    It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with her and it is an absolute testament to her as a fellow podcaster because I haven't shared as much about myself as I have in this one. Thank you Nihara.

    Any feedback is greatly appreciated and it would also be amazing if you could please share this episode. If you think that someone else could benefit from 'Finding the Middle', every share helps my mission grow.

  • Wanking, Worry & Wealth | Finding the Middle Ep. 7
    Jul 23 2024

    Welcome to the seventh episode of 'Finding the Middle' with Raff's thoughts on vulnerable, brave responses sent in anonymously!

    The aim of this episode was for listeners to have the opportunity to share something they are struggling with behind closed doors and break through the various barriers that may be stopping them from seeking out a mental health professional.

    Finances, stigma/shame, time and a variety of other difficulties make it impossible for some to access the help they need and with this medium, Finding the Middle hopes to create a big enough shift for listeners to do that.

    Please take in what was shared by these responses and I hope a perspective resonates with you.
